This characteristic provides the versatility in the modeling of biological processes. Approach: This study was carried to discuss the membrane computing formalism in modeling biological processes by analyzing two examples: Photosynthesis in chloroplast and Sodium-Potassium exchange pump. Results: The modeling of these two examples showed membrane computing formalism has the capability to capture the fundamental features and elements of biological processes. Conclusion: There are flexibilities and advantages in modeling biological processes with membrane computing but its formalism need further expansion to accommodate complex biological processes.}, journal = {American Journal of Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
